The cosmic unresolved background instrument using CCDs (CUBIC) was scheduled for launch on the Argentine/U.S. SAC-B satellite in October 1996. This instrument is designed to perform moderate resolution nondispersive x-ray spectroscopy of the diffuse x-ray background over the band 0.2 - 10.0 keV using state-of-the-art photon-counting CCDs. The instrument is optimized for spectroscopy of diffuse emission with a field of view approximately 5 degrees multiplied by 5 degrees below 1 keV and 10 degrees multiplied by 10 degrees above 3 keV. Here we discuss the present state of analysis of our preflight calibration data and present preliminary operational plans.
